Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747 Series Airplanes

The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Boeing Model 747 series airplanes. That AD currently requires inspections to detect cracks in the front spar pressure bulkhead chord, and repair, if necessary. This proposed AD would require repetitive high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections of the body station (BS) 1000 bulkhead chord for cracks, repetitive detailed inspections of the bathtub fittings, if installed, for cracks, and corrective action, if necessary. Accomplishment of new inspections would end the inspections of the existing AD. This proposed AD would also revise the applicability of the existing AD to include additional airplanes. This proposed AD is prompted by reports of cracks in the BS 1000 bulkhead chord. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracks in the BS 1000 bulkhead chord, which, if not repaired before they reach critical length, could result in the failure of the adjacent structure and skin and lead to in-flight depressurization of the airplane.

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPS) and associated Takeoff Minimums and Obstacle Departure procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

Modification of Class D and Class E Airspace Areas; Roberts Field/Redmond Municipal Airport, Redmond, OR

This action proposes to modify the Class D and Class E airspace area designated as a surface area, modify the Class E airspace area designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, and modify the Class E airspace area extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Roberts Field/Redmond Municipal Airport, Redmond, OR. This action would support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-24 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that a solid-state relay (SSR) used in the left-hand (LH) windshield heating system may allow reverse current flow when in the OFF position. This AD requires modification of the airplane and replacement of the affected SSR with a serviceable part. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
